It might sound silly but I think I was the most excited when I pulled Jimmie Hall out of a first series 1969 Topps pack.
My cousin and I collected baseball cards and we always traded our duplicates with each other. One day, we were trading and he needed a Jimmie Hall. I had one but no duplicate. I thought about it and broke my own rule and traded it to him, a card I only had one of. I thought I'd easily get another one. As the days went by, got all the cards in the first series except Jimmie Hall. Would go to the corner store, lay my nickel on the counter, take my pack outside, open it up, put gum in mouth, not get Jimmie and threw cards (and wrapper) into garbage can on corner and go back in store..... As a 12 year old I started to panic. Not only was the second series just about to start but my supply of nickels was going down! Finally pulled him from a pack. Major relief. All was right in the world again. Mike |
